Show HN: An experiment - IRC channel from just a URL

12 pointsby malditogeekabout 12 years ago
This is related with a previous story I've seen today: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5330020<p>I've been working on a similar concept but based on IRC.<p>Once authenticated with your Twitter account you can join a room using the URL, the path represents a channel. As I said, it's based on IRC which means that you can also join the same room using an IRC client.<p>The code is here: https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo

Please please please if you are going to require a Facebook or twitter or google or MySpace or whatever new service-of-the-month login, please put a video or screenshots so we can see the offering first. It's like asking for a social security number without telling what you plan to do with it.

The instant Twitter auth kills it for me, sorry.

Not sure how this is better than <a href="http://qwebirc.org/" rel="nofollow">http://qwebirc.org/</a> which is actually a fully featured IRC client.

I don't get what it is and don't want to make a twitter account to find out.<p>Could someone explain what is and why it needs a twitter account.

No idea what this is, I get a Twitter login page.<p>This is an IRC channel from just a URL: irc://irc.efnet.org/HN<p>What's the difference?

was kinda interested - but first step being a twitter authorised killed curiosity right then and there..<p>suggest maybe linking to something of an explanation before jumping straight into auth-step

tl;dr: ircd with integrated web client.<p>I'm not sure what advantage you get from the integration here, compared to a conventional ircd and a web gateway?
